When the transmission went out in our 2004 Malibu, we started car shopping. The dealers with the "Bad credit-no problem....Bankruptcy-no problem" were actually decent people. The last one we talked to had the papers drawn up with 11% interest on a 2009 Impala. All we had to do was get trustee approval and it was a done deal. Didn't think that was too bad considering the interest on the original loan of our used car was 9% with a 725 credit score 7 years ago.
We ended up putting a new trans in the Malibu for $1,500. we will get a new to us car after discharge in 2 more years.Filed July 2009. Discharged 08/08/2014. Awaiting closing. We made it !!!! Woo-hoo!

That is correct. Our lawyer said to go and get your best deal and bring back the paperwork to be approved/rejected by the trustee. Needless to say you are going to buy something within your affordable price range.Filed July 2009. Discharged 08/08/2014. Awaiting closing. We made it !!!! Woo-hoo!
